Lovesong: Beth Orton: Something More Beautiful

Beth Orton always had a fractured voice; her habit of putting an 'h' in front of every vowel always had me yelling 'nooo stop' at the speakers in the same way that my dad Terry still yells at the screen when the newsreader mispronounces 'advertisement' or says 'You and I' instead of 'You and me'...
On her new album 'Sugaring Season' she seems to revel in her voice's fragility and... it's lovely; something more beautiful indeed. The pastoral strings on this are perfectly imperfect too...
